As we enter the “lazy days of summer,” we want to remind all our members that the ACLI has had anything but a lazy 2025! Below is a recap of the crucial campaigns and two highlight events ACLI undertook in the past five months. Together, we mobilized our network on vital issues impacting Israel. Thank you to everyone who added their signatures and united their voices with American Christian leaders across the nation.
Key Highlights from the Past Five Months
Feb. 25: Celebrating ACLI’s 10th Anniversary. ACLI celebrated its 10th anniversary at the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) Convention in Dallas, Texas. More than 100 leaders gathered to recognize ACLI’s growth into a network of over 3,000, becoming a powerful collective voice for millions of Christians nationwide. The NRB convention, with nearly 6,000 attendees, has become the largest annual pro-Israel Christian event in the United States and was the natural place to celebrate this occasion.
Feb. 27: Affirming Israel’s Rights in Judea and Samaria. We submitted a historic resolution to President Trump and Secretary Rubio, which was announced at a press conference at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention. This resolution reaffirmed the Jewish people’s right to the biblical heartland of Israel—Judea and Samaria. We impressed upon President Trump and Secretary Rubio the critical need to resist international resolutions that seek to undermine Israel’s security and reward aggression. Our efforts helped affirm our support for Israel’s rightful attachment to these biblically significant lands.
April 23: Congratulating Secretary of State Rubio and Ambassador Huckabee. We sent letters of congratulations to acknowledge the new appointments of Secretary of State Marco Rubio and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee as US ambassador to Israel. We first delivered a letter of congratulations to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, amplifying our message of solidarity and showcasing the commitment of over 3,000 Christian leaders who stand together for Israel. Subsequently, hundreds of ACLI leaders signed a letter of congratulations to Ambassador Huckabee, which Susan Michael personally delivered to his Jerusalem office.
May 5–7, 2025: Second Annual Israel Advocacy Day on Capitol Hill. We brought together 300 pastors, rabbis, and faith leaders from 25 states for our second impactful Israel Advocacy Day in Washington, DC. We organized 100 meetings with members of Congress, their dedicated staff, and other legislative leaders. Our unified message was clear: the security of Israel and the safety of Jewish Americans are fundamental American priorities.
This event wouldn’t have been possible without the combined strength of our co-hosts: Eagles’ Wings Ministries, Zionist Rabbinic Coalition, Israel Allies Foundation, and Combat Antisemitism Movement. We are also so grateful for our six sponsoring organizations, all dedicated ACLI members: NRB, CBN Israel, Bridges for Peace, Thrive America, Concerned Women for America, and Operation Lifeshield.
June 9: Protecting Israel’s Sovereignty Against a Two-State Solution Push. In response to the United Nations General Assembly’s push for a “Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and the Implementation of the Two-State Solution,” we launched a campaign urging both President Trump and Secretary Rubio to resist this dangerous initiative. We emphasized that the events of Oct. 7 unequivocally demonstrated the fallacy of such a solution and called on all ACLI members to add their signatures to a letter advocating for American leadership against any attempts to undermine Israel’s security or reward aggression.
June 18: An exclusive briefing with Israeli Lt. Col. (Ret.) Jonathan Conricus. Conricus is one of Israel’s most trusted military analysts—provided rare and valuable insights into Israel’s ongoing conflict with Iran. In the wake of Israel’s war with Iran, Conricus shared frontline insights on Israel’s evolving strategy against Iran and its proxies, key victories, urgent challenges, and the heavy toll on soldiers and civilians. If you missed the briefing, the full replay is available online.
Thank you for standing with us on these critical initiatives. We’re already looking forward to an impactful fall filled with new campaigns, events, and initiatives.
While the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ) generously covers ACLI’s administrative and organizational costs, your direct contributions to ACLI would allow us to expand our outreach and amplify our collective voice even further. If you feel led to make a gift as you are able, every contribution helps strengthen our ability to advocate for Israel’s vital interests.
